Assume for a minute that the decision makers put you in charge of expansion. They tell you that two members will be added in 2016-7 no matter what. You have no other information to go on than a 5-year Kenpom ranking average. They tell you with certainty that the new members MUST be private and in the footprint.
(5 year Kenpom averages. STDEV is a measure of consistency, a lower number means more consistent. You have no other information to go on. Existing BE programs provided for comparison purposes.)
Pick two:
Georgetown 31 STDEV 33
Villanova 37 STDEV 23
Xavier 49 STDEV 23
Creighton 51 STDEV 29
Marquette 52 STDEV 35
Butler 61 STDEV 44
Team E 62 STDEV 34
Providence 72 STDEV 26
Team B 78 STDEV 71
St. John's 81 STDEV 44
Seton Hall 88 STDEV 28
Team D 91 STDEV 48
Team A 99 STDEV 68
Team F 106 STDEV 82
DePaul 175 STDEV 59
Team C 230 STDEV 77
I'll come back tomorrow with the names of the anonymous teams so you don't have to look them up.

This was a good post. I was looking forward to identification of the anonymous teams. It's been 2 days. What gives?

I included Siena because they're a great fit in so many ways - killer location, good facility, good attendance when they're good - but my gosh they're terribad historically.
I always thought Duquesne could be a great fit if they ever had a real commitment to big time hoops. But their numbers are close to SiSiena's.
I've got more numbers to share along the same lines in a bit. They're interesting. (And yes, I included some publics, football schools, and schools outside the footprint.)

Holy shit, seriously, SIENA? AGAIN, enough with the mid-major bullsh--. We might as well bring in St. Anthony's High School.
What school do you root for? Honestly? No way it is one of the old Big East teams. Some of you new guys need to change your mentality.
I am sorry to be insulting, but ENOUGH..... F'ING SIENA!?!?!?!?!?!

I know if it was up to you we'd add UNC, Duke, Kentucky, Arizona, and Kansas.
